Chapter 138: Goodbye in Taoyuan
Jiang Wei followed Guan Yu closely and stood beside the road, but saw flags emerging from the horizon and falling in the wind; After waiting for a while, a group of soldiers dressed in two-gear armor, with brown leather helmets on their heads, spears in their hands, and long knives hanging from their waists were the first to come into view.
The helmets of this team of soldiers are all coiled with a circle of white eyes, which is extremely eye-catching and mighty.
ζ―¦, also known as ζ and fashion, is an ornament woven from a fashionable oxtail, which is usually used to decorate samurai armor and weapons.
Jiang Wei knew that among the 100,000 troops of Shu Han, only one army was decorated with a white oxtail - that was Liu Bei's personal guard Bai Yu's soldiers.
"So, isn't the lord the pioneer?"
As he wondered, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry.
Everyone squinted and saw Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, dressed in military uniform, riding on a snow-white god horse, twitching the horse's hips and galloping wildly.
But when he saw that his face was anxious, he kept calling out in his mouth:
"Cloud Chief! Cloud Chief! β
Guan Yu heard the call at first glance, his eyes were slightly closed, and when he saw that his brother was the pioneer and the first to rush to Zigui, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and hurriedly rushed forward to greet him.
"Brother!"
"Cloud Chief! Are you okay? β
As Liu Bei dismounted and stood still, the two brothers immediately clasped their arms and looked at each other.
At that time, Liu Bei decided to enter Shu, and when he parted, although he was about to go to one side of the sky, the two of them were full of ambition and heroism, and they made an appointment with each other to reunite in Luoyang, the Han capital.
After five years, when we meet again, we will almost be a hundred years old.
The two looked at each other, each with a thousand words to say in their hearts, but at first glance, under the heaving of their chests, they didn't know where to start with their stomachs, and they were speechless and choked with each other.
Especially Liu Bei, he received an urgent report from Jiang Wei and knew about the great changes in Jingzhou, so he immediately ordered the army to come east.
He didn't know whether Guan Yu was alive or dead, but this time he finally saw each other, and his hanging heart finally let go, and while he was excited and happy, his eyes were already full of tears, and he couldn't speak.
After a while, the sound of "click" horses' hooves sounded again, and then a tall black shadow flashed, and a big man pounced on Guan Yu, crying and said: "Second brother, second brother, I don't stop all the way, I don't even dare to sleep at night, for fear that it will be difficult to see you again!" β
Guan Yu looked fixedly, who is Zhang Fei, the third brother?
"Yide! Yide! β
He was surprised and delighted, and immediately separated an arm and put his arm around Zhang Fei's shoulder.
Zhang Fei raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in an urn voice: "Second brother, you have suffered this great grievance, even if you are a brother, even the ends of the earth will come to you to find you and help you take revenge!" β
Liu Bei also wept and said: "It was an improper arrangement for my brother, and I mistakenly believed in Mi Fang, a villain, but I taught Yun Chang that you suffered...... Finally, the three of us brothers will see each other again! β
Guan Yu and Liu Bei have been comparing each other for a long time, how can they not hear that the elder brother is taking the initiative to take the responsibility for the loss of Jingzhou, in order to make him feel better.
He was touched by the sincerity of the two sworn brothers, and his slender eyes could no longer hide tears, and hot tears flowed down his cheeks.
At this moment, the self-blame and guilt in his heart are finally like spring and snow, and there is no trace of it, and all that fills his chest is full of warmth.
At this time, Xiang Lang, Jiang Wei, and Guan Xing stepped forward to meet Liu Bei, and Liu Bei sighed with good words.
While everyone was talking, the army was slowly approaching.
Zigui City is small, barely squeezed with 3,000 Shangyong soldiers, 2,000 Fangling soldiers and more than 1,000 barbarian soldiers, it can almost be regarded as overcrowded, and it is impossible for the vanguard army brought by Liu Bei to enter the city.
Fortunately, Guan Yu had the foresight to send Guan Ping to build a camp outside the city a few days ago for reinforcements to settle in.
Seeing the arrival of the army, he knew that it was important to settle the army, so he immediately ordered Xiang Lang to return to the city to prepare for the military supplies, and then led the two righteous brothers and the army towards the newly established camp.
As soon as he arrived, Liu Bei immediately ordered the army to be stationed on the spot, and he himself pulled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei into the main tent to discuss matters.
The tent was set up temporarily, and it was very simple, and the three brothers of Liu Guanzhang simply sat on a cushion each. The three of them looked at each other, the brothers reunited, and after a long time, they had a lot to talk about in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start first.
Liu Bei is the elder brother after all, but seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hair also climbed with a layer of star frost, he took the lead in sighing: "The three of us brothers have been righteous since Taoyuan and have been dominating the world for thirty-five years, but now they are all old. β
The so-called speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Guan Yu is very self-conscious, but after a big defeat this time, his temperament became sensitive.
He thought that the Northern Expedition was frustrated and Jingzhou fell, but he was afraid that his brother Kuang's great cause of supporting the Han family would be blocked, which was his and his lifelong ambition.
When I think of my brother who is nearly sixty years old, and I don't know if I will see the day when I will achieve my ambition in my lifetime, the feeling of self-blame is suddenly like a turbid wave emptying, turning over the river and the sea, and for a while overwhelming the joy of the brother's reunion.
Guan Yu sighed, knelt on the ground, and said with a guilty face: "A certain person who is not effective in defending the land can be described as a failure, and he has no shame to face his brother again." But there are still loyal and righteous people under his command, and today he finally hopes that his brother will come, and he can entrust them with everything, and he can also ask his brother to plead for the death penalty. β
Guan Yu has always been arrogant, when has Zhang Fei seen him so discouraged, seeing this, he hurriedly comforted: "Oh, second brother! It's Sun Quan's sinister child, Mi Fang's rat generation is shameless, and you are also a victim, why should you blame yourself so much? β
Xu felt that these words were not convincing enough, so he simply stood up, knelt down to Guan Yu's side, bent over and continued to persuade:
"Do you still remember Xiapi City back then? At that time, I was drunk and taught Lu Buna to take the city! You must know that it was a place where the three of us and the other brothers ran around and finally got a place to stay. At that time, I blamed myself for begging for death, and I was only a lot more than you second brother! But isn't my brother forgiving me and making atonement for my sins? β
"The three of us brothers went to the north and south to lay a huge foundation, but now we have only suffered some losses, and it is far from the time of life and death, how can we seek death and life?"
"If you suffer a loss, you will fight back! What's more, today, the three of our brothers gathered together, looking at the world, Hugh said that Sun Quan and Lu Meng's generation, even if Cao Thief saw it, he only dared to walk with his tail between his legs! β
Liu Bei also took advantage of the situation to persuade: "Yun Chang, you and I are commensurate with each other, you have been wronged, how can you sit idly by as a brother?" Today, I sent troops to the east to crusade against Sun Quan and vent this evil breath for you! β
"Yes, yes, if you don't cheer up, it's not like I know my second brother!"
Zhang Fei was just helping.
When Guan Yu heard this, while blaming himself in his heart, he was really moved, his mouth and nose were open, and tears fell in his eyes, but he couldn't say a word, only held the hands of the two brothers tightly.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei saw that he was uncomfortable like this, and they felt uncomfortable and distressed.
Liu Bei stretched out his arms and hugged the two brothers one by one, and the three of them hugged each other and cried together.
After venting for a long time, the three of them collected their emotions.
Guan Yu knew that his brother had won in Yizhou before, and the two sides used letters to transmit information, and it was inevitable that he would not know the details of what happened here, so he took a deep breath at the moment, lifted his spirits, and told all the things from the beginning of the Xiangfan Battle to the present.
From Mi Fang's unfavorable raising of military rations, to Sun Quanyin's communication with Cao Wei, and then to LΓΌ Meng's crossing of the river in white, Mi Fang and Shiren surrendered and sacrificed the city, and then led the army to return to the south, but fell into LΓΌ Meng's plan to attack the heart......
After all, he is the person concerned, and he knows a lot about the facts and tells them vividly.
Sun Quan and Lu Meng are insidious, after all, they are all outsiders; But when they heard that the trusted Mi Fang and Shiren were so unbearable, Liu Bei and Zhang Feideng were furious and couldn't help but scold.
